Searches for gifted/talented children

Registration for these searches is now available.

The Washington Search for Young Scholars (WSYS) is a regional talent search for students in grades 5-8. The goal of the WSYS is to identify and serve the needs of Washington’s brightest young scholars. Students qualify for the WSYS by meeting score requirements on a standardized test. Unfortunately, The WSYS will not be offered in the 2009-2010 school year due to State budget cuts which have affected the University and the Robinson Center.

Johns Hopkins University Searches for Gifted Children. This fall, enroll your child in JHU’s talent search, for students in grades 2 – 8. Learn more about your child’s math and verbal reasoning abilities, and have them celebrated and recognized by a leading program for gifted young people. And, perhaps qualify for summer and online courses. Financial aid is available. Find out more, and apply online.
